Boulder bike thief sought

BOULDER - Police are investigating a series of high-end bicycle thefts that occurred throughout the year.

The road and mountain bikes belonged to residents and those visiting Boulder.

Investigators believe the thefts are related because the majority of the bikes were attached to vehicles either by a roof mount, a hitch rack or a rack mounted in truck beds.

Police say the thief or thieves used bolt cutters and/or wire cutters on locks to remove the bicycles from vehicles which were parked on downtown streets, parking garages and from neighborhoods like Goss Grove and Frasier Meadows.
